Welcome to Napoléon 1807, History for all!

Winter 1806-1807, Napoleon's victorious campaign against the Prussians in the autumn of 1806 has just ended.

Despite the defeat of his army, the King of Prussia, Frederick III refuses to surrender. He calls on his Russian ally to help him. The Tsar's soldiers enter Poland to confront the Grand Army of Napoleon.

In Napoléon 1807, take charge of one of the contending armies that fought during this tough campaign. Move your troops to surprise the enemy and defeat them in decisive, strategic combat. Napoleon 1807 is an epic game for true history and strategy fans.

Easy to learn and historically accurate, fight Russian or French armies with 7 scenarios in 30 minutes to 2 hours. You will be able to relive the furious battles of the period like Pultusk, Eylau and Friedland.

Can you lead your men to victory?

Napoléon 1807 is the latest installment of the CONQUERORS Series using the same mechanisms from Napoléon 1806. Very well received by gamers, this tabletop war game is for either young conscripts or seasoned grognards.

Grognard: An old soldier, a term used for the Napoleon’s original imperial guard.

But there’s also the slang version for grognard; someone who enjoys playing older war-games or roleplaying games, sometimes of the tabletop variety.

Conscript: A person drafted or enlisted into the armed services.

Napoléon 1806, the Prussian Campaign

Napoléon 1806 english version has been out of stock after less than one month. So we will reprint the game and you can pledge for it alone, or part of a bundle with Napoléon 1807.

On August 9, 1806, Frederick William of Prussia, in reaction to the recent creation of the Confederation of the Rhine by Napoleon, decreed the order of mobilization. War becomes unavoidable.

The Prussian army concentrates on Erfürt without waiting for the troops of its Russian ally. Outrunning his opponents, Napoleon enters Saxony with the Grand Army on October 7, 1806 and heads for Berlin.

A week later the Prussians, defeated at Jena and Auerstaedt, retreat North. The pursuit led by the Murat cavalry can begin...

Best operational level gunpowder era game in existence.Beginner friendly and highly recommended!

Improved by the experience of many players on Napoleon 1806, the system is now perfectly proven. The rules of Napoleon 1807 can be completely mastered from the first reading.

The system is easy to learn with many subtleties and a high replay-ability. The player's strategy is more important than the luck factor. The game is very immersive with a lot of historical flavor.

The Polish campaign is the scene of fierce battles between the Russians and the French at these three cities: Pulstuk, Eylau, and Friedland. Each of these clashes can be replayed through short scenarios called “battles” or longer ones called “campaigns.”

Mix them up and you can rewrite history with strategic play any way you want!

Therefore, a total of 11 scenarios are proposed, surely enough to play and replay many times!

Review in french can be seen on the mirror site:

To conclude, this is a very fine piece of design. If you want a game you can learn quickly, with quality components, some clever nuances, and that presents a valid treatment of its subject, this is well worth considering. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Napoleon 1806 uses the bright and bouncy looks of a euro-game, and a wise simplicity to confront us with some of the issues of running both sides in 1806. It's a fast game but one that maximizes the value of thinking. There is a lot more history here than in many a more complex game.

Inclusion and openness. We’re here to make a great game for everyone to enjoy equally. We do not do early birds, we do not do KS exclusives elements. Our goal is to make a great game and allow everyone who wants to purchase it enjoy it to full extent.

Participation. We’re proud of our game, and are happy to provide free, downloadable versions of the rulebooks. You can also try our first game on TableTop Simulator and Vassal. We’d love to hear your thoughts, and promise to seriously consider all suggestions for improvement. We’re also excited at the prospect of hitting those stretch goals, to allow our backers to make small but neat contributions to the substance of the game.

If we’ve made it, you get it. We offer one version of the game, and it includes everything needed for a complete gameplay experience. There is no additional content hiding behind stretch goals. Any upgrades unlocked won’t change the game by adding new major gameplay elements. They’ll be either aids to increase convenience, component improvements we couldn’t otherwise afford, or small additions that we welcome from our backer community.

Ready to go. We’ve worked hard to bring the game’s graphic design to 99% completion. Every component and game piece is ready to be sent to our printer. The entire graphics package on our end will be ready to go within a month of funding. We hate waiting just as much as you do.
